  • AELA and the Power of Immigrant Voices

    AELA and the Power of Immigrant Voices
    Oct 12 2025
    Today, we’re diving into the story of a man whose leadership is helping reshape how immigrants engage in American public life — Pious Ali, and the network he founded called AELA, the African Immigrant Elected Leaders of America.

    AELA is a national organization that connects and supports African-born elected officials serving in the U.S. It helps them share ideas, mentor one another, and build bridges with other communities — from African Americans to Asian, Caribbean, and Latinx leaders.

    Through AELA, Pious Ali is showing that immigrant leadership is not just about representation — it’s about participation, collaboration, and transformation.

    And that’s our story for today — Pious Ali, AELA, and the growing impact of immigrant leadership in America.

    From Portland, Maine, to cities across the country, immigrant leaders are stepping up, mentoring one another, and building bridges across communities — from African and Caribbean to Asian and Latinx populations, and beyond.

    At Amjambo Time, we celebrate these voices, their courage, and their contributions to making democracy stronger, more inclusive, and more representative of everyone.

    Thank you for tuning in. I’m Eloge Willy Kaneza.
    Keep listening, stay connected, and remember: when immigrant communities rise together, they change the world.

  • Democracy Needs Us All-Eboo Patel

    Democracy Needs Us All-Eboo Patel
    Sep 21 2025
    On September 3, the University of Southern Maine launched a new initiative called the Forum on American Democracy. The inaugural keynote speaker was Dr. Eboo Patel, interfaith leader, author, and founder of Interfaith America.

    In this episode, we take you inside Hannaford Hall in Portland, where Patel challenged the audience to think of democracy not as something fixed or inherited, but as a living, daily practice. He drew on the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s founders, and thinkers like John Stuart Mill and Martin Luther King Jr., reminding us that the health of democracy depends on how we treat one another across lines of faith, race, and identity.

    Stay with us as we share Patel’s vision, and what it means for Maine’s growing, diverse communities.

    Today we heard Eboo Patel remind us that democracy is not only about elections or institutions—it’s about the everyday choices we make to respect differences, engage in dialogue, and work together for the common good.

    In a state like Maine, where new communities continue to enrich our neighborhoods, Patel’s words carry both a challenge and a promise: diversity can be a source of division, or it can be our greatest strength.

    Thank you for tuning in. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and join us again for more conversations that matter. And don’t forget to follow Amjambo Africa and Amjambo Time on our social media platforms to stay connected with the stories and voices that shape our community.

    Until next time, stay engaged, stay hopeful, and keep building community.
